Simon church continuing his brilliant form from last season
surely bp will get the church truth after this tournee? then, on loan to orient/gillingham/swindon...and quietly released after this season...
Try supporting him this season instead of slagging him off all the time then you might see a better player.
Truth hurts .... He's simply useless.
I cannot understand some peoples comments on here! I'm sorry but he really, simply, definitely, is not useless! I'm not he's greatest fan but come on man the man is a Welsh International footballer, his scoring record is not great I grant you but surely you can't criticise his work rate and help for his team. I really think if everyone got behind him and gave him a bit of support we might see an improved player. What good does constantly slagging off our own players??? I know everyone is entitled to their opinion and it is a public forum but I do find it a bit tiring and very counter productive........
For what it's worth this is "only" my opinion!!

You get the feeling Church could get man of the match every week and he will still be slagged off. Certain people have their talons in him and there is nothing that can change that until he's hounded out. Just ask Kevin Lisbie , David Mooney and Simon Francis ( to name just a few ) who all went on to do well at clubs who's fans got behind them.
I understand Super Kev can only train a couple of times a week for O's, a division below us. Still put money on him to outscore Spongefoot at any level. My most hated player since clean shorts. Stealing a living.
I don't know how supporters of a club can state that they hate ANY player that wears their shirt !
OK- you may not feel a player is good enough to do so but hate is a very strong ( and IMHO, odd) word to use in this instance.
Most of us would probably have our pet hates regarding players of other clubs we come up against...Kevin Muscat was a case in point for me. This is surely because of the passion we have for our Club - a bit like "hating" the enemy.
But whether we like it or not, WE don't pick the team and have no influence on the manager's choice.
And we've been advised time after time by current & former players that booing/screaming insults at a particular "target" is not the brightest of ideas...
So, in my book, VG has it spot on.
Maybe worth trying to remember that age old saying that if you can't say anything good about someone, then don't say anything at all ?
So ...... Both us and Standard wear the same colour kit, but Standard get put in the bibs, does this make us the network priority? ... Or does the fact they could afford bibs mean they are the priority? Conundrum!

Who was clean shorts?
Matt Hollands. Captain. Parker's replacement. Ran around a lot but ball had moved forward by the time he got there. Midfielder. 15y+ senior career never booked. Was it chopper Harris said after a late tackle " I got there as soon as I could ref" With MH not only the ball but the player had gone by the time he turned up.
thought it was a decent kick-around, passing wasn't great but it is the first friendly shame the front pair couldn't get a decent hold on the game but this was a very weak side anyways

The thing with church is I think he could really excel in the right team! As you say he is not a natural goal scorer. If he was partnered with someone who knocked them in for fun with a creative midfield with a bit of pace behind him he would come good! He does the hard work and often unnoticed stuff and he does it very well! And on this situation he may even chip in with five or six goals in a season! Last year with everything that went on he was never gonna do well, the team wasn't in a position to benefit from the hard work he put in and he was expected to play as a goal poacher which is not his game!

Matt Holland was a brilliant player. Worked his socks off and gave everything for the club. His performance against Birmingham along with Deano was absolutely outstanding and he turned up for us time and time again. He was also a model pro who always represented Charlton brilliantly, even when got knobbed about by Pardew and shoved in at centre back for no apparent reason, He also always speaks highly of the club in his role as a pundit. Incidentally, Neil Warnock didn't like Leon Cort because he felt he didn't get booked enough. I don't know about you but quite high on my list of priorities is 'don't be like Neil Warnock'. It's right up there.

Not bothered by the result. Just a quick stretch of legs. Would rather this tournament later in preseason. Looking forward to Welling and this season as a whole.

All you're saying is how little you understand a player's role in the team.
And Matt Holland wasn't Parker's replacement, he played alongside Parker in the same team.

Church is like a cartoon where he runs around, supposedly eluding the guard dog/cat until the crucial moment when he gets swatted against the wall. My most hated player since clean shorts. Stealing a living.

How can people be this negative about a 45 min pre season game against a team 2 weeks ahead of us in terms of training with our team only starting pre season with a football on Monday (only fitness last week I think?) also the team we played against have a champs league qualifier in a few weeks time
ALL that matters is fitness and start to get match sharpness in pre season. Anyone remember Piggott at welling last year? He was going to be our savior!

I agree, but then you have to question the wisdom of the "network" hyping this up. Should have come three weeks later. Except that the Euro leagues tend to start earlier than ours. Yes, well that's the problem Roland, football isn't like other businesses.

Matt Holland instrumental in dressing room bust ups. I've heard it all now .
So you can have a career that spans 17 years, play more than 550 games, represent your country 49 times and still not be able to tackle, pass, be comfortable on the ball etc etc. Ridiculous.
Really do not understand the need, which is growing season after season, for fans to slag off players they hate/dislike. What part of them thinks this will get a better performance out of them. Ben Hamer and laurie Wilson spring to mind, football is about confidence so why knock it out of them.

I think he'll be sent out on loan anyway.
OK- you may not feel a player is good enough to do so but hate is a very strong ( and IMHO, odd) word to use in this instance.
Most of us would probably have our pet hates regarding players of other clubs we come up against...Kevin Muscat was a case in point for me. This is surely because of the passion we have for our Club - a bit like "hating" the enemy.
